Eerie – The Darker, Deadlier Companion to Creepy!

When Eerie first emerged from the shadows in 1966, it wasn’t just another horror comic—it was a bold, blood-drenched evolution of the genre. Published by Warren Publishing, Eerie served as the darker, more experimental sibling to Creepy, delivering terrifying anthologies of gothic horror, monstrous mayhem, and supernatural nightmares, all wrapped in stunning black-and-white artwork. Hosted by the enigmatic Uncle Eerie, each issue unleashed macabre morality tales, twisted fates, and gut-punch endings that left readers haunted long after they turned the last page.

With art from legends like Richard Corben, Bernie Wrightson, Frank Frazetta, and Alex Toth, Eerie set an unrivaled visual standard for horror comics, combining classic gothic storytelling with pulp sensibilities. Unlike its predecessors, Eerie leaned heavily into serialized horror-fantasy sagas, introducing iconic characters like The Rook, Hunter, and Dax the Warrior, whose eerie adventures spanned multiple issues.

For fans of classic horror, pre-code thrills, and atmospheric dread, Eerie remains an unmatched work of illustrated terror—a chilling reminder of a time when horror comics refused to play it safe. The darkness still lingers… are you ready to step inside?
